Well, then it should be fixed to take relocated installations into
account.
Relocatable installations are by nature a pretty broken feature. When
you use pg_config to locate, say, libpq, then compile your third-party
package, and then move libpq somewhere else, nothing can save you
(except moving libpq back). At least on Unix, relocatable
installations are a walking cane when you need parallel installations
for upgrades, but they'll never work reliably in general.
